REWIRE is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership in Youth dedicated to strengthening digital literacy, critical thinking, and responsible democratic participation among young people across Europe. Focusing on the interconnected challenges of disinformation and online hate, it seeks to equip youth organizations and young people with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate increasingly complex digital environments.
The project aims to examine how disinformation and cyber-hate spread and reinforce each other within youth digital cultures, translating research findings into practical educational resources. Particular attention is given to strengthening the digital readiness of youth organisations, developing critical digital skills, and fostering informed and responsible online engagement.
Implementation focuses on comparative research, youth focus groups, co-creation labs across five countries, and the development of evidence-based training materials. Key resources include a Comparative European Digital Youth Insights Report, an NGO training curriculum, a Youth Worker Training Guide, and an open-access digital toolkit. Pilot training activities, a Youth Ambassador programme, and awareness campaigns will support the practical application and dissemination of these resources.
Youth workers, youth organisations, NGOs, and young people form the core audiences of the initiative. Civil society organisations will also contribute to pilot activities, ensuring that diverse perspectives and experiences inform the development of relevant and accessible educational approaches.
Training resources, digital tools, awareness campaigns, and policy recommendations will strengthen the capacity of youth organisations to address disinformation and online hate. Greater digital resilience, informed democratic participation, and stronger transnational cooperation will contribute to creating safer and more inclusive digital environments for young people across Europe.
